DarkDestr0yer61 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Mine is archer/snipers. I will admit, bows are one of my favorite weapons. And archers and snipers tend to be some of my favorite units. I like pretty much 90% of the archers/snipers in the series. I don't even care if they're considered a subpar class because they tend to not have a good enemy phase. So what is your favorite class?

Emerson Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Pegasi Riders/Falcon Knights, specifically ones with Lances and Swords. They're so dodgy and hard hitting, plus having Lances and Swords, they can take out 90% of enemy units, which are mostly Axe and Sword users. Even though Bows are their weakness, you get the Iote's Shield/Wing Shield in so many games. One particular of mention is in FE3 where you get it in ~Chapter 3. Close second to Myrmidons/Swordmasters for similar reasons. They're dodgy, crit a lot, and since most enemies are Axe users, they can destroy on enemy phase. They don't have the movement or diversity in weapons that Pegasi have, but they have a better critical rate and power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke087 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Theif/Assassin has alway been my favorite class I love their design and ulitily. Edited July 29, 2016 by Locke087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Sorcerer will always be my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Strategist Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 *Looks at Member Title* Bish- I'm kidding. It's Dark Knight, obviously. It feels like the ideal balance between Strength and Magic that leans more toward Magic. It's got great Movement and Lifetaker access. What's not to like?

Thinks Their Own Way Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Snipers are not sub-par in Fates. Lately I've been loving the Kinshi Knight class. I love how a flyer can be the ultimate flyer killer. Other favourites include, Berserker, Hero and Assassins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rend Keaven Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The Mercenary/Hero line. If someone is promoted to Hero, they can literally become one man armies depending on the game. The combat animations are flashy, the skills they learn are must haves, their stats are well balanced and I've let to see a "horrible" mercenary unit. The closest I've seen was Gregor but that's only because he was out shined by Inigo and Severa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapbar Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Knights/Generals. Only got better with Pair-up, although I do miss Shadow Dragon Bow Generals. I've always preferred tanky characters in games. Great Knights come in at a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Pegasus Knights and mages. I like dark mages, anima mages, light mages. Oh yeah, and paladins. Edited July 29, 2016 by Loki Laufeyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raguna Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The usually enemy only Soldier class would be my favorite and even though Spear Fighter exists in Fates it just doesn't hit the void the way Tellius made realize I wanted to be that class. Even retroactively looking at the gba games I like how the unit sprite looked. As for the most common class line, I'd say Cavaliers and Generals. Most of my favorites are in those class line.

Lethakitty Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 my favorite is nohr noble but to chose one that isnt a special class dark knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 There's three big ones Mages are the first, obviously. Enemies seems to have a habit of possessing crap Res and the ability to target it is great. In addition, despite the squishiness, they are great dodgers, normally. The only problem is the lack of pony. The second class is Archers. This is more because I like quite a few characters in this class. Flyer-kill abilities is great, especially in FE6 where wyvern enemies are everywhere. Finally, Pegasus Knights. The ability to fly over terrain is very nice, I like most pegasus knights as characters, and high speed/luck is nice to have. The main issue is the disastrous con for using lances in the GBA entries.

BrightBow Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) The female Mage Fighter in FE4. I love Mage Fighters and I love classes that combine the ability to kick ass with the ability to protect their allies. And the male version is incapable of using staffs, so that's why it's specifically the female version. But then again at least the male version doesn't have those weird x legs. I believe the proper term for it is knock knees but I might be wrong. Also the Lady Knight from Tear Ring Saga. I really enjoyed having a class that can use bows and swords in first tier, even if those who have it are some of the weaker units. It's just too bad that Jugdral's x legs carried over to this game.

___ Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 My top favorites are something of a tie: Swordmaster and Grand Master. I love the visual designs. Granted, perhaps the Grand Master's design isn't that impressive, but I love this one I like the Swordmaster's high avoidance, their skill with the sword, and Astra is my favorite skill in the game. And the Grand Master, swords and sorcery, it's pretty amazing. Also, the Dark Flier. Falcon Nights look sharper, smoother, and better suited for battle, but the Dark Flier has a dose of elegance and a presence that I like a lot.

Konnor97 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Mage/Sage. In fictional works I tend to be most interested in spell casters, and FE is no exception. I do have a certain like for Mage Fighter though, as I really like magic swordsmen. Too bad they suck at using swords, but they'll do. Tactician/Grandmaster from Awakening are a spiritual successor, but they don't feel quite right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Strategist Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I love the visual designs. Granted, perhaps the Grand Master's design isn't that impressive, but I love this one Yeah, Katarina looks awesome as a Grandmaster. It'd be nice to see more characters having the class tree and it not being a unique class if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valtierre Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hmm....my favorite class shall go to the Heroes. Axe Heroes specifically. Always badass to see a Hero with an axe. Shame that Fates slaughtered the fun of Axe Heroes with making them reach B Rank Axes at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Sages. I just remember the moment I saw Pent crit in GBA I was like ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG. I love magic, so yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageHarpuiaJDJ Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Physical: Berserkers. I honestly used to hate axes, but the GBA FE games made me love them with the almighty Dart(and Hector). Just seeing them crit was so satisfying. It's too bad they sucked in Awakening, but then Fates fixed this with Charlotte and Beruka(I kinda want her to be the Canon Fighter just because she looks so right in the model, but Charlotte is awesome too!) being actual monsters when trained, and 100% crits are fucking silly when it's not on PvP... happening to you. ;~; Honorable Mention: Hero Magical: Bishops. A rather simple designed class, but fun to use. Like Myrmidons but with magic and worse luck(if you're using Artur/Lucius). Light Magic also has some cool looking animations. Honorable Mention: Sorcerer/Druid Hybrid: Malig Knights. Those Dark Dragons look fucking awesome and this class is so useful. Has pretty high strength and okay magic. It's also very tanky when arrows aren't involve. I also love that Beruka's default look is actually the female variant of the armor. Honorable Mention: Dark Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Cool Guy Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Mercenary/Hero all the way baby. It's got my two favorite weapon types, and there's not one of them throughout the whole series I don't like (except maybe Radney). They have very balanced stats in all the right stats (str, spd, skl, def) Great bases, growths, useful skills, flashy animations, and some of the most consistent best design in the entire series. What's not to love? Honorable mentions go out to Halberdiers, Berserkers, and Swordmasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelaar Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 My favourite class in the series are Thief like classes. I love how they can use bows in Fates. They can't be great right away (Exception: Anna in awakening) But if trained, some can become exceptionally good, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Draco Knight Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 My favorite class has to be either Wyvern Riders/Lords(surprised?) and Sages: The first ones possess high defense AND can fly, which means that an arrow doesn't automatically one shot them, even when they don't have the Iote shield. They can inflict huge damage as well and, in some cases, they may kill an enemy in one hit. Also, I like nearly all of the character of this class. However, Sages are powerful as well, being able to easily kill even the tankiest physical enemy and, just like for the wyvern rider/lord class, I like most of the member of this class. Special mention to Hero and Swordmaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
